Lord, hear our prayer:

Father in heaven, thank you for those who share in the pain of their neighbor and offer the love of Christ to all; for those who stand with those who are falling and offer hope and encouragement to those who are hurting and depressed. We thank you for the presence of Christ in the lives of those who know him, and that he still reaches out in love and care even through those who do not confess his name. We praise you for the coming of the Spirit, who alone enables us to love our neighbor as ourselves. We bring our prayer in the name of Christ, who taught us what love really means.

Amen.
